• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 8B751 - Maintain either 'percentage' or 'tax per unit of measure' ?

  The SAP error message 8B751 indicates that there is an issue with the tax calculation settings in the system. Specifically, it suggests that you need to maintain either a 'percentage' or 'tax per unit of measure' for a tax condition in the pricing procedure. This error typically arises in the context of sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM) when dealing with tax conditions in pricing.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A tax condition is defined in the pricing procedure, but neither a percentage rate nor a tax amount per unit of measure has been specified.
  The system requires at least one of these values to calculate the tax correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that either a tax percentage or a tax amount per unit of measure is maintained for the relevant tax condition. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Condition Records:
  
  Go to the transaction code VK11 (Create Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) depending on whether you need to create or modify existing records.
  Enter the relevant condition type for tax (e.g., MWST for VAT).
  
  
  
  Maintain Condition Records:
  
  If you are creating a new record, enter the necessary details such as the validity period, tax code, and the relevant percentage or amount.
  If you are modifying an existing record, check if either the percentage or the tax per unit of measure is missing and fill in the required information.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Ensure that the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document or purchase order includes the tax condition type.
  You can check this in the configuration settings under SPRO > Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Pricing > Pricing Control > Define Pricing Procedures.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the transaction again to see if the error persists.
